Two more than the quotient of a number and 5 is equal to 8

30

Step-by-step explanation:

We can start by writing an equation:

2 + x / 5 = 8

We are adding 2 since we are asking for two more than the quotient, and it is set equal to 8 as given by the problem.

We can subtract 2 from both sides to isolate the x term:

2 + x / 5 = 8

-2             -2

x / 5 = 6

Now, we can multiply by 5 to cancel out the division by 5:

x / 5 = 6

* 5        * 5

x = 30

So, the number is 30.
